CISSOID is a leader in high-temperature semiconductor solutions for various industries. Headquartered in Belgium, it provides standard products and customized solutions for power management, power conversion and signal conditioning in extreme temperatures and harsh environments, and provides efficient power conversion and sophisticated motor drive solutions for the automotive field. CISSOID products are reliable and can operate in the temperature range of -55°C to +225°C.
Founded in March 2000, CISSOID originated from research at the University of Leuven in Belgium and can draw on more than 25 years of expertise in developing solutions in harsh environments. Technical expertise in component development, system design and packaging enables it to provide semiconductors that have been independently tested and can operate reliably in the range of -195° to +400°C, ensuring long operating life and robust applications. Since developing silicon carbide (SiC) solutions in 2009, CISSOID has been accumulating experience in designing high-performance and self-protected gate drivers to seamlessly cooperate with the power switching devices they control.
The next logical step was to combine these elements into intelligent power modules, which eventually converged into a new modular inverter platform that first solved the challenge of matching the gate driver to the power switching stage, and also solved the greater challenge of matching it with the control processor and its accompanying software, integrating it into a coherent whole. By combining key hardware and software elements, including intelligent power modules (IPMs), real-time controller boards, customizable motor control software, liquid coolers, and optimized DC link capacitors, a unique modular platform was created. This platform reduces years of development work to weeks.
CISSOID has key gate driver technology and deep SiC and GaN experience, which will be a key motor drive solution for the next generation of electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. CISSOID works closely with Chinese partners (Tsinghua University, IEE-CAS, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Huanxu Electronics, etc.) to cover the complete supply chain, including wafer fabs and packaging. In addition, CISSOID has established a Chinese team to support customer development and development activities. Recently, CISSOID has also developed 1-phase and 3-phase SiC MOSFET IPM power modules (a perfect combination of high-temperature SOI integrated circuit technology and silicon carbide power devices) for various industrial and automotive applications.
In the automotive field, CISSOID provides efficient power conversion and sophisticated motor drive solutions: high-voltage gate drivers for SiC and GaN switches, power modules with low inductance and enhanced thermal performance, and automotive-grade components with an operating temperature of 175°C that exceeds the AEC-Q100 Grade 0 quality standard.
For the aviation, industrial and oil and gas markets, CISSOID provides solutions for signal conditioning, motor control, clock and power management for extreme temperatures and harsh environments.
